Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jager Statsy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Fitch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jager Statsy had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Jon Fitch is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
